Guys, keep exposing these wicked frauds and forwarding to the authorities!
the same to me. I received the same yesterady with the same 3 attachements. I have send them a message back asking for more info because it was very weird and they reply to me :P. The emails from support@totalhrdept.com. What a scam. My issue is from where they find my details. Early in July i applied in a position for Total that i found in Linkedin, so i am wondering if that was a fake ad or is it just coinsidence

International recruitment department is in Paris - France.
I contact them, they know about this. They have an ongoing investigation.
The real address for Total HR department is hrdept@total-carrer.com
This is the message from TOTAL regarding this potential fraud:
Merci pour cette information et bravo aux équipes pour le clairvoyance et leur bonne réaction.
De toute évidence, il s’agit d’une arnaque à « l’africaine ». On appâte le client, on lui dit qu’il est shortlisté, qu’il faut aller vite, qu’il faut prendre un billet d’avion, que les frais se feront par transfert Western Union… et la comédie est censée se passer au UK, pour donner une touche de crédibilité.
Les incohérences flagrantes :
-Les offres d’emploi chez Total ne sont déposées que sur le site « Total careers ». L’adresse hrdept@total-carrer.com n’est pas connue.
-Total ne demande jamais de transfert d’argent pour un recrutement
-Total Oil ltd n’existe pas
-La signalétique et le Logo sur le courrier ne sont pas conformes
-Emperotravels & Tours est une société qui sert à effectuer les virements bancaires au profit des arnaqueurs.
Etc…
Nous sommes régulièrement informés de ce type de démarches mais il n’y a pas grand chose à faire si ce n’est éviter de tomber dans le piège. L’an dernier nous avions un cas en Grèce. Cela fonctionne très bien dans les pays où les jeunes diplômés cherchent à s’expatrier vers des pays occidentaux du type USA, Canada, UK…
